NOTE:

1. To reduce the chance of losing data, ALi imposes certain limitations on the

RAID configuration options. Parallel-ATA drives connected on the same

IDE channel cannot be selected as the members of a RAID0 array. Avoid

mixing Parallel-ATA and Serial-ATA disk drives in a RAID0 array.

2. Always use disk drives of the same capacity to create a RAID array. The

excessive capacity of a larger disk drive cannot be utilized because data

stripes are equally distributed across all members of a RAID array.

E.5.2 Create RAID1 Mirroring for Reliability

WARNING!

All data previously stored on the member drives of a RAID configuration will

be destroyed during the RAID initialization process. If “used” drives are used

to create a RAID array, make sure the data has been moved or backed up

before creating a RAID array out of the disk drives.
